Spyderco Forums

Our lawnmower recently broke down and my wife kept bugging me to get it fixed. However other things just kept cropping up that needed my attention like cleaning out the garage, fixing the car, going fishing with my buddies, and all those kinds of things....

I've developed an interest in macro photography lately, being able to see and show others small things and details that would otherwise go unnoticed has been a lot of fun. I'm creating this thread for anyone that has any macro or close-up photos they...

What others are you interested in at Balde Show this year?

I had pretty much made up my mind that I was going to pick up a TRM Atom this year after passing last year. The new diamond pattern on the titanium scales is great. I love the merlot Micarta...

Me and the woman have 3 Australian cattle dogs... ill post pics as soon as i figure it out. They are such great dogs! Show off your fur babys!

It's 80F to 85F and I'm picking up branches that have fallen so the lawn can be mowed here in N. Central Illinois. I suppose those living in warmer climates have had shorts on for quite a while, but 1st day for me.

Nice day. Have to get used to the...

My son got me a black ALLOX Cadet for Christmas and that has been riding in the rfp since.. Also edc a Leatherman Style PS in the watch...

In online comments, especially on YouTube, it’s common for people to say (for example): “I miss the ‘70s (or the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘80s, ‘90s, you name it). If I had a time machine, I’d go back to then and never come back.”

I’ve also read lots of comments,...

I know I can't be the only music nut or musician on the forum, so...

I have never once had them actually wait for me to come to the door and sign for a package that supposedly required a signature. I'm assuming that you pay them extra for that, and you're totally wasting your money if so. But even more so, I feel you may...

The video below is an excellent account of US Marines who experienced paranormal events in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Note: I understand that probably “most” people do not believe in anything paranormal (or will claim not to). There are a TON of...

Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home

I've always remembered this cartoon from the early 1970s. It wasn't among my favorites, and it used to air in late afternoons on weekdays, IIRC. I watched it now and then. I think the last time I ever saw it was back in...

This thread could either generate lots of interesting discussion or die a quick death, depending on the number (or lack) of potential responses. The reason I’m starting it is that, IME, there are LOTS of people who have done at least a little martial arts...

Looking for a new hiking fixed blade to pair with my PM2. Don’t care about the steel and preferably around $100 and 4.5”-5” blade length. The Fallkniven S1 comes to mind but that’s $160 or the BK16 but I’d have to upgrade the sheath. Any other favorites...

You kids might enjoy these pictures of French knife sharpeners taken in 1902. I wasn't actually there, but this is the way I've heard it. The city of Theirs was a knife-making center for hundreds of years, beginning in the 14th century. The sharpening...

It’s that time of year again ….

We’re lucky enough to get terrestrial TV coverage here, but you can now also subscribe for online footage.

P.S. First 200mph officially clocked in practice. Remember, these races are on public roads….

Are there any watch lovers like me?

Seiko, omega, orient, and hamilton are some of my favorite watch brands. :cool:

Beer thirty.. Miller High Life... John :)

I figured since there is a thread for spydies in the mail, id make a thread for the others in your life :D

I currently have a Boker Nano Decade edition BNIB in the mail. I just received my wood scaled Kershaw Skyline and Leatherman wave late last week.

Anti-Second Amendment forces are trying to repeal Preemption in Ohio. SB 78 is a dangerous bill that if passed would repeal the entirety of Ohio’s preemption law, including Knife Law Preemption which was just enacted last year after six years of Knife...

Anyone trying to reach 80? How about 100 years of age and in decent shape and healthy?

I have a new Samsung 23S phone now, and it records steps, so I'll be using that for my walks.

My daily supplements as of...

this morning i went out to a local park to see the snow on the trees before the wind blows it all down. i didn't manage to get a shot of my pacific salt, but i figured a lot of us probably take photos of just the landscape when we're out photographing our...

What's the most boring discussion or repeated comment you see, over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, on the Spyderco forum? What dead horse has gotten the most thorough beating, then been resurrected, and...

Happy birthday Rick! Oddly a NewYorker who's a Brewers fan... :thinking

Let's give it up to a great contributer!

Does anyone have any experience getting a billhook’s recurve section sharp with a sharp maker? The straight portion of the blade takes a wicked edge easily, but the recurved section at the end is a total pig to sharpen without holding the spine of the...

Thought I would post this for all who have some nature shots that may be of interest. MG2

Happy Birthday , hope you have a great day ! Dan

With the “NFL Hall of Fame game” happening tonight, it seemed like an appropriate time to start this years thread.

First preseason game of the season tonight, Raiders vs. Jaguars. Raiders currently leading 6-0 at the end of the first quarter. Anyone...

Funny (as long as it isn’t happening to YOU) or weird stuff caught on camera (security cameras, CCTV, or whatever).

My personal favorite starts at around 2:47.

It took me 40+ years to get a Al Mar Eagle in paper micarta that I could afford.

I've been looking at getting a light axe, but it seems that the only axes I can find that are light and thin as I want tend to be tomahawks, which would be fine by me except that not many have poles that can be used as a hammer. Cold Steel actually has...

Wondering what kind of flashlights you Spyderholics have/prefer?

I currently have:

- Foursevens Gen2 QT2L with Burst Mode
- Streamlight Micostream
- Streamlight Stylus Pro

I am newer to flashlights and have been interested in trying out the...

Bought this from a member of another forum I'm on. Soon as I saw it, I said I'll take it - it's really very very nice. It's carved leather in a floral pattern of some sort. At any rate, just thought I would share this. I think it compliments my leather...

have a great one, Darby!

I'm trying to figure out where/how to purchase audiobooks aside from physical copies, but it seems like everyone wants you to use an app these days and I'm not interested in streaming anything, I want a full download. I'm ok with purchasing, not looking...

Over the decades, I've liked a wide variety of movies from almost all genres. Back in the 1970s and 80s, I was a connoisseur of kung fu and modern-day action movies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which played in local grindhouse theaters dubbed in English,...
